The Cost of Bladder Control Issues

“Which health issue costs women the most money (in diagnosis and treatment) every year? -Occasional Incontinence, Breast Cancer, or The Flu?”  Parade Magazine published this Women’s Health Quiz on 10/16/2010.

The answer was Occasional Incontinence, experienced by “38% of women, spending more than $20 billion per year to manage”, Parade went on to say.

Here’s what some customers are telling us about their cost of bladder control issues:

• Liz: “My pharmacist once showed me line by line the costs of each item for him to handle his 79 year old mother’s incontinence issue: $2,400 a year out of pocket cost.”
• Rosemary, a retired teacher, spent $191 a month on a bladder medication. After insurance reimbursement of $40, her cost was $151. That’s $1,812 a year out of pocket.
• Rosemary researched for alternatives and started to use BetterWOMAN in 2010. She is now saving more than $1,200 a year on her bladder control problems.
•  Caro started BetterWOMAN in 2009. She used to spend $119 for one month on bladder medication that caused her severe dry mouth. Now she saves $74 per month and enjoys her life fully and freely.
• Wendy discovered BetterWOMAN in 2009 after she got fed up with spending $125 per month on bladder problems. She is now saving $80 a month and happy to have her reliable body back.

Dare to defy the old saying that “Bladder control issues are just part of getting old and you need to get used to it.” Face the problem and take action. More and more women are acting proactively to take care of their bladder health. “I do not want to wear pads like my mother”, they would say.

Join them and free yourself. Regain both bladder control AND financial control.

To your health,
